Mykel and Carli is a song by Weezer which strays away from their typical power-pop sound and strikes me as being a bit more developed. Opening up in a very acoustic fashion with just an acoustic guitar and a simple harmonica pattern, the rest of the band soon comes …

I like the song “tonight” by FM Static so much because I can feel it on my own life. It tells a story about longing for a lost love–for love stolen by tragedy. It is sad and made me feel how much it would hurt to lose someone so …
